Sixth Anuvaka

1. There is the ether within the heart, and in it there is the
Person (purusha) consisting of mind, immortal, golden.

Between the two palates there hangs the uvula, like a nipple—that is
the starting-point of Indra (the lord). Where the root of the hair
divides, there he opens the two sides of the head, and saying Bhu, he
enters Agni (the fire); saying Bhuvas, he enters Vayu (air);

2. Saying Suvas, he enters Aditya (sun); saying Mahas, he enters
Brahman. He there obtains lordship, he reaches the lord of the mind. He
becomes lord of speech, lord of sight, lord of hearing, lord of
knowledge. Nay, more than this. There is the Brahman whose body is
ether, whose nature is true, rejoicing in the senses (prâna), delighted
in the mind, perfect in peace, and immortal.
